Rolling across 175 acres of quintessentially Southwestern ranchland — a seemingly infinite tableau of brown earth, piñon, and juniper — Rancho Alegre is a magnificent residential property destined to be known as a Santa Fe landmark. Designed by renowned architect William F. Tull and featured in the June 2008 issue of Architectural Digest, the impressive pueblo-style residence is nestled near the crest of a hill with panoramic views of the Ortiz and Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The residence features a 13,000 square-foot main house; central plaza courtyard; santuario; torreon with rooftop deck; guest and caretaker’s quarters; carriage house; and expansive rear patio with entertaining portal, infinity-edge pool, hot tub, and cabana. Not far off lie a private four-bedroom guesthouse and equestrian facilities that include twelve casita-style horse stalls and a large riding arena.

This unparalleled space features distinctive cabinetry carved by Jose and Constantino Jaramillo in the style of Nicolai Fechin — a Russian painter and woodworker who lived Taos, New Mexico and earned a reputation as one of the great Taos Masters. In his Taos home, which now serves as the Taos Art Museum, he carved the doors, window frames, pillars, and furniture in the style seen here in the kitchen at Rancho Alegre. Discerning gourmets will appreciate the integrated professional-quality kitchen, including a commerical Viking range, two Sub-Zero refrigerators with cabinet fronts, two dishwashers, two sinks, three pantries, travertine countertops, and a copper range hood. Custom light fixtures of goatskin and wrought iron hang above the copper-topped breakfast bar, all ensconced under a dramatic bóveda ceiling. At the northern end of the kitchen, a large picture window captures a view of the Sangre de Cristos over the home’s entry courtyard. In front of the window, a shepherd’s fireplace, formed from an eight-foot cantilevered piece of Arkansas stone, warms the inviting breakfast area.
